Rick Karsdorp has had a busy week at AS Roma. Following the harsh words of coach José Mourinho, numerous supporters vented their rage at the Dutchman.
Mourinho talked out harshly about one of his players following the dismal draw with Sassuolo. According to the Portuguese, his unprofessional demeanour had betrayed his teammates. It became clear that he was referring to Karsdorp.
Rick Karsdorp backed by former Roma director
Mourinho, according to the former Roma director, has gone too far. “I don’t think Karsdorp can go shopping in Rome in peace right now. Mourinho used strong language in his remarks. We’re discussing football. I’d like to see the game again to fully get what Mourinho meant. Mistakes are unavoidable in sports. You cannot bring up the subject of treason.” According to Italian media, Sabatini was correct.
According to Corriere dello Sport, irate AS Roma fans confronted Karsdorp at his home on Friday. The situation is becoming increasingly dire for the Dutchman. The right back, who has made 122 appearances for Roma, is under contract with the club until mid-2025. This week, it was revealed that Juventus could provide a possible answer.
On Sunday afternoon, AS Roma coach José Mourinho and general manager Tiago Pinto addressed Rick Karsdorp’s position.
Karsdorp was a notable omission in AS Roma’s Serie A match against Torino ( 1-1 ). The Dutchman and his family, according to Italian media, have already departed Rome. Karsdorp had to cope with supporters who were waiting for him at his home this week.
The suffering began for the 27-year-old right back when Mourinho harshly reprimanded him following the game against Sassuolo on Wednesday. Four days later, the Portuguese trainer is reluctant to comment. “I have decided not to select Karsdorp today, and he is aware of my decision. I make the decision,” Mourinho stated.
Tiago Pinto, AS Roma sporting director’s also highlighted the Dutchman’s dilemma in an interview with DAZN. “You all witnessed what happened. “We determined with the coach and the player that it would be better for everyone if he didn’t play in this game,” the director explained. “We will undoubtedly find a solution that is beneficial to everyone.”
